Spied – 2012 Mercedes Benz A Class hatchback

2012-Mercedes-A-Class-Hatch

The New 2012 Mercedes Benz A Class hatchback spied on the Spanish island of Lanzarote in the Canary Islands.  It seems that the German premium carmaker was at the island to shoot video and pictures of the luxury compact model for its press material.

Mercedes  showcased its Concept A-Class  at the Delhi Auto Expo last month.  The A Class seen here is the five door hatchback model, which will be the first body style to be launched onto the market. Mercedes has already confirmed that the 5 door version will make its world premiere at the 2012 Geneva Auto Show in early March. A sportier looking three door model will follow, possibly withing the next year.

It is evident from the design of the front bumper with the stretched out side pockets, the large alloy wheels and the side skirts that the A Class seen here is either the rumored A25 AMG or the regular model fitted with an AMG sports package. Whichever it is, we must admit that it looks pretty snazzy  especially when compared with its main rival, the BMW 1 Series.

Mercedes Benz has kept a tight lid on the AMG version of the A Class but sources claim that it will feature all wheel drive with power coming from a high performance four cylinder turbocharged petrol engine producing up to 300HP.
